World maps are an iconic part of many games, but few world maps have a style quite as recognizable asWorld of Warcraft. One artist andWorld of Warcraftfan has created Azeroth-style world maps of Arkansas, Colorado, Indiana, and Ohio on his ongoing mission to map out the 50 United States of America.
ConservationOfWumbo, also known as EthanolMaps, is aWorld of Warcraftfan who has gotten no small amount of fame through hisextensive collection ofClassic WoW-style world mapsof various states. A few days ago, fans received a glimpse at how he is progressing on his project.

The most recent endeavor of ConservationOfWumbo’s ongoing project is the states of Arkansas, Colorado, Indiana, and Ohio. Each of the states features its major cities, highways, and landmarks rendered as major locations, as if onan in-gameWorld of Warcraftmap. The maps, made in Adobe Photoshop, perfectly mimic the iconic style ofWoWand look as if they could be pulled straight from the game. Perhaps the best flavor detail from these maps is the Devilsaur Monument in northwestern Colorado: ConservationOfWumbo’s Azerothean take on the Dinosaur National Monument on the border of Colorado and Utah.
So far, ConservationOfWumbo has made exceptional progress on his quest, mapping out 28 of the 50 states so far. He briefly took a break from his state quest to make aWoW-style map ofSkyrimand New York City, but he has hit the ground running. With only 22 states remaining, ConservationOfWumbo might even finish them all before the end of the year. All of ConservationOfWumbo’s maps can be purchased as posters, postcards, or on canvas via his Etsy, EthanolMaps.
World of Warcraftfans are always excited to see ConservationOfWumbo’s work. Each time he posts his work, ConservationOfWumbo gets more and more fans, with these states attracting almost 150 comments in just a few days. With over 1,000 sales on his Etsy, it is no exaggeration to say he is one of themost established customWorld of Warcraft-style mapmakers out there.
But he is not the only one. There are several other artists who have made other countries and regions on Earth intoWorld of Warcraftzones. Winston-91, Nomadichedgehog, and Spoon have created maps of various European nations, with Spoon even having made amap of Australia in the style ofBurning Crusade’smap of Outland. Perhaps if all of these artists piece their works together,World of Warcraftfans will eventually have an Azeroth-style world map of the entire planet.
